The Meaford Scarecrow Invasion and Family Festival executive has officially announced their intention to proceed with their annual event this year. If all goes according to plans the Scarecrows will begin invading in September to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. The parade and festival are set for September 30th.
The annual Scarecrow Invasion and Festival helps foster tourism in the area, supports economic development, encourages community spirit, and, well, is also a whole lot of fun!
As with any large scale undertaking community-spirited volunteers are a key for success. There are many tasks, some little, some large. The executive would welcome whatever time, skills, and energy that you have to offer. For example you can:
– Serve on the executive
